God Level Summoner Chapter 262-264

Chapter 262 – Death Racing (3)

In the Korean team's training room, Captain Park Joonseo smiled in encouragement. "Good, you are acting seriously.

s.h.i.+m Yoocheol tapped the keyboard and said, "I don't want us to be killed anymore. This might be a friendly game but it will be humiliating if we lose too badly."

Once he became serious, the few new people around him started acting. Big moves filled the sky and aimed at Xiao Han. As a result, Xiao Han used Combat Stealth like Qin Mo and all the skills missed!

"Kill the archer!" Li Cangyu reminded them.

At this time, Zhang Shaohui was already behind the archer and killed her!

The head ratio became 3:2 again and Kim Yoonhee shouted, "Watch out for the snake…"

Before she could finish, she saw the blood snake that Qin Mo placed under the remote's feet suddenly twist its body and wrap around the white magician—Blood Snake's Spit!

This was the big move of the blood snake. The person tangled up in the snake couldn't move, they would lose a lot of blood and three layers of bleeding would apply. This skill caused the white magician's blood to fall to 30%…

The black magician had a blood spider at his feet. The spider made him unable to move and he also had three layers of bleeding applied to him.

s.h.i.+m Yoocheol looked back to see that the four people who survived in the South Korean team didn't have much blood left. The even worst thing was that all fall people had three layers of bleeding on them. The blood lost in 10 seconds wasn't a joke!

***

The players watching the game couldn't help saying, "This summoner's awareness is excellent!"

South Korea's captain Park Joonseo smiled and commented, "The two line operation is very skilled. He should be Ling Xuefeng's apprentice, the talented newcomer Qin Mo."

"This style is calm, completely different from the American team's Jack."

"He applied a bleeding state to everyone's body, making it convenient for his teammates to find opportunities to take heads. It seems that the Chinese team has thoroughly studied the death racing mode."

As the group of people discussed it, the two sides exchanged a wave of skills. Zhang Shaohui lurked behind the white magician after killing the archers. The black magician used Dark Fear on Zhang Shaohui and the four Korean members joined forces to kill Zhang Shaohui.

Xiao Han and Qin Mo didn't have much blood left and it would be hard for them to face four people, but Li Cangyu ordered, "Continue to fight!"

He had them continue to test how the two little princes would cooperate in the disadvantageous situation.

Facts proved that the two small apprentices were just as connected as their masters. In the face of a 2v4 situation, they weren't afraid. It was because the four people of the South Korean team were in a residual blood state, especially the white magician Zhang Shaohui had just attacked. It would be a waste if they didn't take his head.

However, they must be careful not to be controlled by the other side at the same time. Otherwise, the terrible attack power of the other side was likely to take their lives in one wave.

Qin Mo cleverly stood in place and used the death knight to interfere with the other side, while Xiao Han moved flexibly around him!

From the perspective of looking down from a high point, Qin Mo was like a fixed point while Xiao Han was a fast-swinging pointer. The two people moved quietly in a formation that was like a 'clock.' Qin Mo referred to where Xiao Han was and they moved lightning fast!

Xiao Han first aimed his dagger at the white magician, successfully killing the b.l.o.o.d.y white magician. Then he detoured around the black magician and used the violent combo of Back Stab and Death Strangulation!

The remaining three members of the Korean team were blinded by these actions but s.h.i.+m Yoocheol wasn't a rookie. After seeing the cooperation between the two of them, he rushed towards Qin Mo and killed the death knight.

At this time, Xiao Han unleashed a set of crits on the other side's black magician.

Qin Mo flashed behind a reef and decisively used Blood Bat Festival!

The bats flew towards the black magician and the black magician disabled by Xiao Han had his blood emptied.

s.h.i.+m Yoocheol took care of Qin Mo and turned to kill Xiao Han, only to find that the other person had disappeared into the chaotic reefs and could no longer be found!

Li Cangyu and Ling Xuefeng glanced at each other, appreciation in their eyes.

Despite the extreme disadvantage of 2v4, they could think of the 'clock walking' formation that relied on Qin Mo's remote control and Xiao Han's a.s.sa.s.sination to successfully kill two residual blood opponents. The Xiao Han could escape with Qin Mo's help. The cooperation between the two little guys was becoming higher and higher.

Xiao Han might've managed to kill the white magician because Zhang Shaohui removed most of the other person's blood but Qin Mo's grasp of the overall situation and Xiao Han's decisiveness and senses made Li Cangyu feel appreciation.

After this exchange, the headcount ratio of China VS South Korea became 5:4.

Kim Yoonhee of the Korean team saw this and couldn't help saying, "This a.s.sa.s.sin's ability to seize opportunities is very strong. Is he Li Cangyu's apprentice?"

s.h.i.+m Yoocheol shrugged helplessly. "It seems that the Chinese team has an apprentice group as well as the masters! They aren't easy to deal with!"

The other three newcomers didn't dare speak. Today, the lineup of the South Korean team consisted of two great G.o.ds, s.h.i.+m Yoocheol and Kim Yoonhee bringing three talented newcomers who just debuted this season. They a.s.sembled the lineup and didn't consider any special tactics. The gap between heads had been narrowed but they might not necessarily win.

The captain Park Joonseo made a sensible judgment. The blood kin a.s.sa.s.sin and summoner should be fixed partners.

If they weren't fixed partners, it would be impossible to use the clock coordination.

The performance of the two teenagers surprised him. This degree of surprise was no less than when he saw the elf summoner Li Cangyu at the Carnival yesterday. It seemed that the Chinese team was a strong team of crouching tigers, hidden dragons. At least 70% to 80% of the American team's strength could be inferred. However, there were many players on the Chinese team hadn't been heard of, making him feel unfathomable…

Park Joons...o...b..wed his head and thought for a moment before saying, "Yoonhee, make a quick decision."

Kim Yoonhee heard this and nodded decisively. "Concentrate on the red resurrection point and directly open a group battle!"

The resurrection points in death racing were also recovery points. b.l.o.o.d.y players could be restored to their initial state of full blood at the resurrection point. The Korean team members had just returned to the resurrection point when they saw… the Chinese team's players waiting there!

Kim Yoonhee felt bad but it was too late to withdraw!

Cheng Wei was killed first. After resurrecting, he waited for Cat G.o.d's instructions. He had long prepared his big move and the moment the Korean team arrived, he cast a skill to control them—Holy Seal!

The three people of the South Korean team were set in place and were helplessly hit by a wave of big skills!

The three players who just died needed 10 seconds to resurrect. Once they resurrected after 10 seconds, the two players who came to support them had already died.

If the residual blood members continued to choose this resurrection point, they still needed to wait 10 seconds.

This was a beautiful time difference battle!

The commander of the opposite side had obviously calculated the resurrection time of each Korean member. In addition, the disappeared Xiao Han came to the resurrection point in advance and waited for an opportunity. The South Korean team chose this resurrection point and completely fell into Li Cangyu's trap.

Kim Yoonhee used Death Arrow Rain to successfully remove the residual blood Xiao Han but the gap between heads could no longer be overcome…

The Chinese team finally won the death racing game with a 10:8 score!

The captain of the Korean team gracefully gave a row of thumbs up.

Li Cangyu returned the thumbs up.

For the two captains who weren't good at English, expressing their emotions with emojis was also a method!

The game ended and the training room filled with cheers. Cheng Wei stood up excitedly, "Hahaha, we won! We won against the Korean team!"

Lou Wushuang watched Cheng Wei and said lightly, "The tactical level of the other side's woman isn't very good."

Zhang Shaohui scratched his head and admitted, "Well, we have the captain sitting here. It would definitely be different."

"This game is just a mutual exploration. There is no need to worry about it." Li Cangyu spoke calmly. "The commander of the Korean team isn't Kim Yoonhee. There is no need to feel proud about winning in this game. We have to keep preparing for the group stage match against Australia."

Everyone agreed with the captain's statement. In this game, no one played to their true level. This was a casual game and there was no need to care about winning or losing.

The excited Cheng Wei calmed down. He stood next to Tan s.h.i.+tian but kept looking at Li Cangyu.

Li Cangyu kept on speaking. "Since everyone has come to the training room, let's discuss the first opponent and see how the match will be played."

He took out a long-prepared USB flash drive and turned on the projection. "I will introduce you to the style of the Australian team."

Yan Ruiwen was speechless. This PPT was made by Captain Ling!

Chapter 263 – Opening of the Group Stage

During the training at the hot springs hotel, Li Cangyu and Ling Xuefeng had carefully studied the key players at this World Compet.i.tion. They had long been familiar with the style and characteristics of most players. However, the players from many countries in the World Compet.i.tion changed their IDs when they registered, making it harder.

Still, they had a clear idea of the professional configuration and key players of the national teams. LIng Xuefeng was a master of PPT production and specifically made introduction materials on the players from each country for Li Cangyu's future use. As Li Cangyu said, he was simply very intimate with Xuefeng.

The Australian team was indeed a weak team in the current World Compet.i.tion but they had four players with very high personal standards. They were the bard William, the swordsman James, the blood kin a.s.sa.s.sin Riley and the black magician Matthew. Among them, the bard William was ranked high in the world and he was also the captain of the current Australian team.

As far as Li Cangyu was concerned, Tan s.h.i.+tian's personal strength wasn't much worse than William's. However, Tan s.h.i.+tian's debut was relatively late. As a young captain, most of his energy was invested into the management of the Time team. The rest of his time was on Weibo, writing stories and drawing comics. This was very popular and his fans weren't obsessed with the rankings. They would rather see his small paragraphs.

This created a strange phenomenon. Tan s.h.i.+tian's popularity in China was so high that he was affectionately called the Storytelling G.o.d, while his international popularity was very low.

In the world's Miracle circle, the elf bard was also known as the archer cla.s.s. The number of masters was particularly large and the rankings changed every year. For example, there was Kim Yoonhee of South Korea, William of Australia, Thomas of the United States, etc. However, very few people had heard of Tan s.h.i.+tian of China.

Most of the people who knew Tan s.h.i.+tian were from the World Carnival last year. Tan s.h.i.+tian's performance in the 3v3 project wasn't bad but everyone's impression of him was just that. On the other hand, Su Guangmo and Lou Wushuang had higher recognition in the world and they had more fans.

Tan s.h.i.+tian was a bit invisible in comparison.

He didn't mind this. He smiled and bickered with Cheng Wei all day and was very polite to his seniors. As the best-tempered captain in the Chinese Miracle League, there were no signs of a G.o.d on his body.

Still, Li Cangyu knew this young man wasn't simple.

Among the new generation captains, Tan s.h.i.+tian was the most powerful one. It was just that he always loved bullying Cheng Wei and his teasing of Cheng Wei made people feel he wasn't stable. They didn't realize he had never dropped the ball on the field.

***

After introducing the ace Australian players, Li Cangyu said very simply, "I have studied it with Xuefeng. In this economic battle, Tan s.h.i.+tian will command and select the people."

Tan s.h.i.+tian was startled. "Me?"

There were so many captains present. He didn't expect that in the first match, Cat G.o.d would hand over the heavy responsibility of commander to him.

Li Cangyu glanced over at him. "Captain Tan, are you questioning your own strength?"

“That's not it.” Tan s.h.i.+tian touched his nose and smiled. "I thought Captain Su or Captain Lou would command. I am new…"

Su Guangmo patted him on the shoulder and directly interrupted. "Don't pretend. You might be the youngest captain here but you have debuted for at least three years."

Li Cangyu added, "Captain Tan doesn't have to be modest. Although the strength of the first opponent isn't too high, many of us are abroad for the first time. We are still adapting to the environment here. Some people still have jet lag and might not necessarily play as well as they did in the domestic league. It is most crucial to stabilize our state in this game."

Tan s.h.i.+tian listened to Cat G.o.d and was no longer polite. He knew that his responsibility was great and put away his smile. "Okay, I will try it." He looked around and easily named people. "I will command using the kite flow tactics. Lu Xiao, Cheng Wei, Liu Xiang, Yang Muzi and Meng Jie will fight with me."

This decisiveness was worthy of the handsome Time team's captain.

The named people raised their hands to express their understanding while Li Cangyu looked at them with appreciation.

“Next up is the death racing mode." Li Cangyu continued. "The rhythm of death racing is very fast. I suggest that you take a healer to stabilize the situation. This will be commanded by Captain Su."

Su Guangmo nodded, looked at the remaining people and soon decided the lineup. "Xiao Yu, Ah Shu, Daddy Bai and Vice-Captain Yan will fight with me."

Three melee attackers were sufficient. Bai Xuan's survivability was guaranteed and Yan Ruiwen's black magician could play a controlling role. The lineup selected by Su Guangmo was quite balanced and stable. In the first match, adopting this stable and winning lineup was the most rational arrangement.

Li Cangyu looked over the remaining players. "I will arrange the arena using the rest of the people."

He clearly understood the national team and didn't need Tan s.h.i.+tian and Su Guangmo to repeat their lineups. He directly named people. "Zhuo Hang and Captain Jiang, the two hunters will be responsible for the opening."

Jiang Xu had always been a stable person and he nodded to express his understanding.

Zhuo Hang looked a bit excited as he cried out, "No problem!"

Li Cangyu went on to say, "Xiao Han and Qin Mo will play the second round."

This arrangement surprised many people, especially the named Xiao Han and Qin Mo. Qin Mo hadn't expected that they would be allowed to play as partners in the first match of the World Compet.i.tion.

"What is it?" Li Cangyu saw that the two of them didn't speak and asked, "Is there a problem?"

Qin Mo's spirit returned and he replied with firm eyes, "No problem!"

Xiao Han also said, "I also have no problem. I am just very extremely surprised."

What was with the very extremely surprised? Young man, isn't your Chinese becoming more ridiculous?

Li Cangyu was forced to ignore his apprentice's mistake and continued, "The Lou Zhang combination will be responsible for the ending."

Zhang Shaohui revealed a bright smile. "No problem! Give it to me and my brother!"

Lou Wushuang pushed up his gla.s.ses and nodded at Li Cangyu.

Li Cangyu quickly typed on the keyboard and placed the lineup on the big screen, so that everyone could check it. The 17 people who could play were very happy. For the rest, Chu Yan and Zhu Qingyue were psychics and their compatibility with other cla.s.ses was relatively low. They were very clear that the main reason why they joined the national team was to deal with the illusion flow genre of the European teams.

Guo Xuan's fixed partner Yan Ruiwen was transferred to Su Guangmo's death racing team so he had no complaints.

The eyes of the group focused on Li Cangyu and Ling Xuefeng.

Cheng Wei couldn't help asking, "What about Cat G.o.d?"

"Me? Isn't everything already arranged?"

"…" Cheng Wei's eyes widened. "You mean, you aren't playing?"

Li Cangyu smiled. "I have other tasks to do with Xuefeng. We have to study the situation of the other two countries in Group B. Italy and Spain are both strong and we can't make mistakes."

Cheng Wei looked at him with confusion. "Is that so?"

"Yes." Ling Xuefeng's cold voice was heard from the side, apparently to help Cat G.o.d. Captain Ling's tone was very clear. The word might be simple but it was convincing.

"…" Everyone had to stop asking questions.

The mobile commanders, Tan s.h.i.+tian and Su Guangmo knew that the combination of Ling Cat was as terrible as a biochemical weapon. It couldn't be exposed in advance. To be honest, using the best matchup in the group stage was just stupid. There was no need for the Ling Cat combination to deal with Australia. Tan s.h.i.+tian and Su Guangmo could handle it.

***

In the evening, Bai Xuan and Xie Shurong gave the translated rules to everyone.

Dressing neatly, not insulting opponents, no typing on the public screen during the game etc. The rules were the same as China.

However, some of the rules of the World Compet.i.tion created a heated discussion.

"When randomly selecting maps, maps freely submitted by the countries can't have two disabled at the same time. Does this mean that if two of the maps submitted by China appear in the same match, the other side can only ban one?" The first to speak was the always lively Cheng Wei.

"According to this rule, I guess that the World League has adjusted the probability of the random maps." Tan s.h.i.+tian carefully a.n.a.lyzed. "The possibility of the country maps appearing in the match is very large. Otherwise, there are so many maps and they won't easily appear. If the map is banned as a result, the submission of maps by the countries will be in vain."

Zhang Shaohui jumped forward in agreement. "This is nice if it is the case! Then our designers didn't waste time creating the five pitfalls!"

"I wish Australia would encounter the eight-trigram array. Wouldn't they directly surrender?"

"I'm curious about the map submitted by Australia. Won't it be full of kangaroos?"

The crowd was so excited that they almost couldn't sleep.

Three days pa.s.sed quickly. The first Miracle World Compet.i.tion finally officially opened at 8 o'clock on the morning of October 3rd.

Bonus ko-fi chapter

Chapter 264 – China VS Australia (Mysterious Map)

The schedule of the World Compet.i.tion stated that the matches for Groups A and B would be held in the morning while Groups C and D would be played in the afternoon. Due to the 12 hours time difference between New York and Beijing, this arrangement was just right for the Chinese audience. Everyone could watch the live broadcast from 8 p.m. to 12 a.m.!

Yu Bing and Kou Hongyi had already arrived at the live broadcast hall. On the third floor of the stadium, there was a small live broadcast room for the media. The soundproof window of the room allowed them to see the game.

It was currently 8 o'clock in New York and the venue could accommodate hundreds of thousands of people. Miracle fans from all over the world brought posters to support the players of their country and Chinese fans also had many flags. The fluorescent cheering cards made it look very lively.

The host was holding a lottery interactive event before the start of the compet.i.tion.

Backstage, players on both sides were preparing for the match.

In the compet.i.tion, the soundproof rooms were divided into the players' seats and the rest area. There were seven computers in the players' area. One of the computers was used for the commander to connect to the referee's command channel. The remaining six computers were used for the arena, the economic battle and the death racing mode.

There would be 10 minutes of rest between different modes. If they wanted to change their keyboard and mouse, they could use this time to debug the equipment.

This time, the national team was equipped with a mechanical mouse and keyboard provided by sponsors. The national team's logo was printed on the upper left corner of the keyboard and the Miracle logo was on the mouse.

Li Cangyu and Ling Xuefeng set up the keyboards and mouse of the players and quickly tapped the keys to check the sensitivity of the b.u.t.tons.. The sight of the two men testing the keyboards caused the domestic audience's blood to boil. Their fingers were strong and slender, the action of tapping on the keyboard dazzling. They could only think of one word when the camera zoomed in—handsome!

The two people finished testing the keyboards and Li Cangyu told the players in a simple manner, "Don't be too nervous. There is no pressure in the first game. We just need to stabilize our state and play to our own standards! Come on—Chinese team, refuel!"

Everyone placed their hands together and shouted this sentence.

They couldn't help feeling heated up as they did this. They were representing their country on the world stage. It was an unforgettable experience that everyone would remember for the rest of their lives. This type of rare opportunity must be done well. They couldn't humiliate China's Miracle League!

***

A moment later, the national team sat down while LI Cangyu walked to the command post with a smile. He looked very confident, making the domestic audience members feel relieved.

Yu Bing was introducing the Australian ace players at the fastest speed. Once Li Cangyu sat down, she changed her words and said, "Audience members, Cat G.o.d is sitting down at the command post. The match will soon begin. Now we need to explain the different map selection rules for the World Compet.i.tion!"

Kou Hongyi followed for. "The World Compet.i.tion states that seven maps will be randomly select for each match. The captains have an opportunity to disable two maps each and the remaining three will be used as maps for the three games.  The rules manual we received has placed a special addition. If there are maps submitted by a country, only one can be disabled."

"That's right." Yu Bing nodded and explained, "In other words, if there are two maps submitted by the Chinese team among the seven maps, the Australian team can't disable both. They must release one. This is to ensure that the maps submitted by the countries can be seen on the stage of the compet.i.tion!"

The simple explanation allowed everyone to understand and they commented:

[I heard that our maps are very powerful! The league especially invited the 3D master of the Dragon Song Club, Wu Zewen to help. It will definitely be a three-dimensional map!] [I think there should be a big maze?] [I hope to see a map with Chinese elements!] [I wonder what the Australian maps are like?]

There was only half a minute left before the official start of the map and Yu Bing said, "You can see the rest area in the soundproof rooms on both sides of the big stage. It is separated by the players' seats with a gla.s.s wall, which cuts off sound. There are many players in the World Compet.i.tion and this design is to prevent players watching from the G.o.d's perspective and giving ideas to their teammates playing."

Kou Hongyi laughed. "This means that the players in the game are separated from those not playing. The players in the rest area can't give any hints."

Then the big screen in the middle of the stage finally lit up and the audience clapped.

Kou Hongyi's voice immediately rose an octave. "Good evening to the domestic audience members, the first match of Group B in the World Compet.i.tion, China VS Australia is about to begin! Let us focus our eyes on the big screen!"

The director cut to the big screen. The audience could see that after the referee announced the start of the game, the captains on both sides drew lots on the computer. The influence of luck was inevitable. The World Compet.i.tion used the random system mode. The Chinese and Australian flags scrolled  through the screen until the referee pressed the pause b.u.t.ton and the picture finally froze.

The Australian team was first and the Chinese team would act second.

Li Cangyu's expression didn't change at all.

Going first didn't make much of a difference in the World Compet.i.tion. The mode of the three games were different and the lineup of both sides were submitted at the same time, being a targeted deployment couldn't be achieved. The only difference was the selection stage, where the first team could pick first what maps they wanted to ban.

Soon, images appeared on the big screen. Hundreds of colourful thumbnails flashed through seven boxes, causing the audience to be dazzled. The captain of the Australian team pressed the pause b.u.t.ton and the first two maps were finally settled—Sydney Opera House and Mount Huangshan Plank Road!

The audience was shocked. Even those who didn't know the history of these two countries could see from the flag mark on the lower left corner of the map that these were the submitted maps of the two countries. The maps weren't present in the online Miracle game.

Immediately afterwards, the maps in the five remaining boxes started scrolling quickly. Li Cangyu pressed the pause b.u.t.ton and the third and fourth maps were selected—Dark Reef and Endless Sea!

The audience members were more familiar with these maps. They were the seven star high difficulty maps seen in the various leagues.

There were three maps left and the audience stared at the big screen until it was settled—The Mechanical City, Koala Garden and Frost Temple!

Apart from Frost Temple, which was a representative Miracle map that everyone was familiar with, the Chinese team logo at the lower left of the Mechanical City and the Australian flag at the lower left of Koala Garden showed they were two maps submitted by both sides.

The domestic audience members were very excited. [It probably isn't a coincidence that there are so many country map submissions, right? Isn't it a question of system probability?] [Based on today's selection, the probability of the maps submitted by the two countries appearing is over 50%!] [Is the Mechanical City and Mount Huangshan Plank Road made by the Chinese team?] [Koalas are Australia's national treasure? They actually made a koala garden. Shall we make a cute panda garden to beat them?]

The discussion in the live broadcast room was very lively. In the soundproof room, Su Guangmo patted Tan s.h.i.+tian's shoulder and said, "There are four country submitted maps out of seven. It seems that you didn't guess wrong. The league really adjusted the probability."

Cheng Wei was excited. "Mount Huangshan Plank Road and the Mechanical City are super difficult to fight in. They can only ban one at most. The Australia captain is probably dying from a headache, hahaha!"

***

The camera switched back to the two captains. The Australian captain, William looked at the seven maps and frowned slightly.

He could ban two maps first but due to the new regulations, he could only ban one of the Mechanical City or Mount Huangshan Plank Road since they were both Chinese maps. Which one was better?

Based on the name and thumbnail, Mount Huangshan Plank Road seemed to be a cliff and air battle? This was too difficult and should be banned.

William clicked the mouse on Mount Huangshan Plank Road and a red X symbol appeared in the corresponding square, indicating that this map was disabled.

There were three maps from the Miracle gallery—Endless Sea, Dark Reef and Frost Temple. William thought about it and banned Endless Sea. This was a sea map and the sea was full of magma that caused death when falling in. This would be harder to fight.

William finished banning the maps and next was Li Cangyu's turn.

Li Cangyu glanced at the remaining four maps and didn't hesitate to move the mouse. He banned both Dark Reef and Frost Temple, the Miracle maps. This meant that he released the Australian maps, Sydney Opera House and Koala Garden!

The domestic audience was shocked. [Oh my G.o.d! Cat G.o.d released both of Australia's maps!] [Isn't Cat G.o.d too confident?] [The maps of the other side were all released? Was there a mistake?] [Our Cat G.o.d is too handsome!]

The expression on Li Cangyu's face was very calm.

He released the other side's maps because he was confident about the Chinese team's players. Not to mention… Australia's own maps might not necessarily be more difficult than Dark Reef and Endless Sea!
